MISSIONS ..opt out of quizzes!:
As promised (see syllabus), here are some of the "missions" you can choose if you want to skip a quiz or two (up to four allowed).
Four quizzes:
-Francis Chan Ministry Forum . Attend, and write a 1-2 page response (Summarize the event, and note ways it related to class content)
-Write (or speak on video) a story or your life story in chiastic form.. Note this should be a significant paper, probably 5-7 pages But the point would be to tell your story (your life story, part of your life story, or your Christian story/testimony etc) in a chiasm (or chiasms); probably best to do it in the form we have looked at (several points, say A-0). The chiasm can be literal (mirrored and repeated words or phrases) or thematic (mirrored themes), but the chiasm should be evident enough that I can pick up most of it on a read through. Be sure to add (as a separate/last page /video, so I see it last, an explanation or "decoder" of your chiasm).The idea is to forces yourself to think in, and write in, this common "literary world" technique. Some links to get you familiar with larger chiasms in the Bible are
here,
here
here
here
here
and here.
Videos are here and here .
Your assignment is to write your own, having.familiarized yourself with how they function in the Bible, so remember that you are not to rewrite a Bible story, and that the center of the chiasm should somehow reflect a central or crucial theme of the chiasm.
